frightened animals bite, hon.
That's just nature.
Animals... strike out.
Humans ... reach out.
You are right that our past actions CAN come up to haunt us.
I believe, however, that our life we live TODAY...
makes the past a non-weapon.
This is just a small, frightened, embarassed man.
You never know -
it could be the wake up call HE has been needing but no one had the guts to give.
